Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Chapter 3
Daddy Missed Our Ye Ye So Much

Inside the wooden house

Ning Yechen gently placed Luo Ruying on the bed, his fingers on her pulse, his expression growing increasingly cold.

After a hundred years, he rarely felt the urge to kill again!

Upon careful examination, he discovered that her condition was far worse than he had imagined.

Her meridians were damaged throughout her body…

Her immortal bone had been dug out…

Even her heart was gone…

She was clinging to life with an artificial heart!

There were also several wounds on her back, still oozing blood.

It was remarkable that she had managed to persevere until now…

Ning Yechen couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt, and his gaze towards Luo Ruying softened considerably.

He didn’t know what she had endured in the Heavenly Realm over the past ten years, but he could guess it must have been incredibly difficult.

Otherwise, a former Heavenly Empress wouldn’t have been reduced to such a state.

At her most desperate hour, she had come to him with their child, and he had almost turned them away…

Ning Yechen gently caressed Luo Ruying’s cheek, channeling spiritual energy from his palm to protect her body.

Preserving her life posed no difficulty for Ning Yechen, but with her damaged meridians, missing immortal bone and heart, it would be difficult for her cultivation to return to its former peak.

Luo Hongye anxiously peered over the edge of the bed, silent tears the size of pearls rolling down her cheeks. She was well-behaved and didn’t cry out loud.

“Come here, daughter~”

Ning Yechen softened his cold expression and gave Luo Hongye a warm, inviting smile, beckoning her over.

He wanted to call her by name, but realized with embarrassment that he didn’t even know his own daughter’s name…

Not only did he not know his daughter’s name, but he didn’t even know his wife’s name…

Luo Hongye timidly took small steps towards Ning Yechen, gazing at him with her big, watery eyes. In a soft, childish voice, she weakly called out:

“Daddy…”

That single word, “Daddy,” almost melted Ning Yechen’s heart.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Ning Yechen scooped up the tiny Luo Hongye into his arms, gently stroking her small, adorable head.

“Daughter, what’s your name?”

“Luo Hongye…”

Luo Hongye answered softly.

“Luo Hongye…”

Ning Yechen gently repeated the name, committing it to memory. Then, he smiled and comforted Luo Hongye:

“Don’t worry, Ye Ye. Your mommy is fine now.”

“No more crying, okay?”

“Okay…!”

Luo Hongye nodded vigorously, then looked at Ning Yechen with a worried expression and asked:

“Daddy, is your injury alright?”

“Huh…?”

Ning Yechen was bewildered by the question.

He couldn’t remember the last time he had been injured…

He had absolutely no recollection of his last injury…

“Mommy said that Daddy didn’t come to find Ye Ye and Mommy because Daddy was badly hurt, so he couldn’t come see Ye Ye, is that right?”

Luo Hongye asked, her expectant gaze fixed on Ning Yechen.

Upon hearing this, Ning Yechen immediately understood that Luo Ruying must have made up an excuse to deceive their daughter. With a helpless smile, he played along with the excuse:

“That’s right, Daddy has been recuperating here, so he couldn’t go see Ye Ye.”

“Daddy missed our Ye Ye so much~!”

“Seeing our Ye Ye, Daddy’s injuries are all healed at once!”

“Really?”

“Then Daddy won’t abandon Ye Ye and Mommy, right?”

Luo Hongye asked with an innocent smile.

Ning Yechen’s heart swelled with affection. He held Luo Hongye tighter in his arms, gently stroking her small head, and assured her:

“Never!”

“From now on, Daddy will always be by Mommy and Ye Ye’s side, protecting you.”

“Okay…!”

Luo Hongye happily snuggled against Ning Yechen’s chest, her hands tightly gripping his clothes.

She had finally found her daddy…

“Ye Ye, tell Daddy, where did you and Mommy live before?”

“What was your daily life like?”

Ning Yechen asked with a smile.

However, his smile held a deeper meaning…

He had to know what had happened in the past ten years!

Who dared to steal his wife’s immortal bone and heart, and injure her so badly!

Luo Hongye, in her innocence, thought that Ning Yechen was simply curious about her and her mother’s past. She happily began to recount her experiences.

Since she was born and became aware of things, she had spent most of her time living in a small closet.

Mommy said it was a game of hide-and-seek, and she had to hide well and not make a sound.

Only when Mommy returned would she be taken out and be with her.

Then, one time, she hid in the closet for several days, and Mommy didn’t come to find her.

She was so bored that she couldn’t help but sneak out to look for her, and she was discovered by others…

Then she was locked in a dark iron cage…

Alone in the darkness, she was so scared…

Sometimes people would come to see her, but they all called her a bastard…

Those people looked so scary, she didn’t like them, so she always curled up in a corner.

Until Mommy came to find her again, opened the dark iron cage, and took her away.
But no matter where they went, there were many people chasing them…

“Those bad guys hurt Mommy…! Ye Ye doesn’t like them!”

Luo Hongye said angrily, lifting her small, indignant face.

Hearing this, Ning Yechen’s face turned icy cold, his heart filled with rage.

How dare the Heavenly Realm!

They even dared to bully his wife and daughter!

From Luo Hongye’s words, he could roughly deduce what kind of life she had endured.

Luo Ruying had secretly given birth to Luo Hongye without anyone knowing. To avoid being discovered, she had hidden her in the closet, deceiving her with a game of hide-and-seek.

Until she was eventually discovered, forcing Luo Ruying to break into the Heavenly Prison and escape the Heavenly Realm with Luo Hongye…

She must have suffered many injuries and hardships during that time…

Ning Yechen wished he could rush to the Heavenly Realm right now and annihilate everyone who had harmed his wife and daughter!

Unfortunately, Luo Hongye didn’t know where in the Heavenly Realm they had lived, only that it was a vast and beautiful palace.

Such magnificent palaces were everywhere in the Heavenly Realm, making it impossible to find.

Should he… just destroy the entire Heavenly Realm?

It wasn’t impossible.

Just the fact that they dared to call his precious daughter a bastard was reason enough!

“Daddy, you look so scary…”

Luo Hongye, seeing Ning Yechen’s murderous expression, shrank back, her voice soft and timid.

“Don’t be afraid, Ye Ye. Daddy is just thinking about how to deal with those bad guys who bullied Ye Ye~”

“Daddy will help you get revenge, okay~?”

Ning Yechen quickly suppressed his killing intent and put on a kind and gentle smile.

“Okay~”

“Daddy should also help Mommy get revenge. Those bad guys always bully Mommy!”

Luo Hongye nodded, her small fists clenched in anger.

“Don’t worry, none of those bad guys will escape~”

Ning Yechen smiled and rubbed Luo Hongye’s head.

In his mind, he was already planning where to start…

It seemed he would have to leave the mountain…

Just then, Luo Ruying’s eyebrows twitched slightly on the bed, and she slowly opened her eyes, regaining consciousness…
